4 HasData Alternatives For Google Search Scraping in 2026

HasData has been in the scraping industry for quite some time. They offer many dedicated APIs for scraping different platforms across the web.

Because of this wide range of APIs, their primary focus isn’t limited to Google search scraping alone.

If you are trying to scrape Google search results at scale, you have probably come across HasData through its Google Search API.

However, if Google SERP data is your main requirement, you might want to explore other alternatives that are more focused on scraping Google search results.

In this article, we will introduce one of the APIs we built for scraping Google search results at scale, along with several other options that are worth checking out.

Let’s get started.

4 Best HasData Alternatives for Google Scraping

API Starting Price Infrastructure Concurrent Requests Documentation Best For
Autom Google Search API $50 for 50K credits Dedicated SERP scraping infrastructure 50 concurrent requests (basic plan) Very developer friendly Rank tracking tools, plagiarism detectors, SERP data collection
Serper.dev $50 for 50K searches Managed SERP scraping infrastructure Depends on plan Very clear documentation Small to medium scale SERP scraping
SearchAPI $40 starting plan Managed scraping infrastructure Scales well for production workloads Developer friendly Production scraping workloads
Decodo Google Search API Higher pricing Own proxy infrastructure Enterprise level throughput Documentation can be confusing Enterprise scale scraping projects

 

Autom Google Search API

Autom Google Search API

Autom has been built dedicatedly for scraping search results. We have a dedicated API for scraping Google search that gives you structured data in JSON.

It is designed for developers who want to collect SERP data programmatically without worrying about proxies, CAPTCHA solving, or request blocking.

You can simply send a query and get the search results returned in a structured format, which makes it easier to integrate into applications that rely on Google search data.

The API is pretty responsive and is also economical compared to many other competitors out there.

Pros

  1. Easy documentation for developers

  2. Economical pricing – 50K credits at $50

  3. Credits expire after 1 year, good for people not using the API daily

  4. Can be used to build tools like rank trackers and plagiarism detectors

  5. 50 Concurrent requests in the basic plan only

Cons

  1. API only gives Google Light Search

  2. API is relatively new

Serper

Serper

Serper promotes itself as one of the cheapest Google Search APIs available. However, when compared on pricing, Autom offers very similar pricing as well.

Serper gained popularity mainly because of its affordable pricing and fast response time, especially among developers who discovered it through social platforms and developer communities.

The pricing is indeed economical. However, in my testing, the success rate was around 90% when running requests at scale. It works well for smaller projects and moderate workloads, but if you are planning to scale heavily, you might want to evaluate other alternatives as well.

Pros

  • Documentation is very clear and developer friendly

  • The API is stable enough to be used in production

Cons

  • Success rate can drop when running requests at larger scale

SearchAPI

SearchAPI

SearchAPI is another product that offers a good alternative to HasData’s Google Search API. They have also been in the market for quite some time and have built a stable product around search scraping.

In my testing, the API performed well and produced consistent results. It appears reliable enough to be used in production, especially for projects that require stable performance when running requests at scale.

Pros

  • Good scalability for larger workloads

  • Pricing starts from $40, which makes it accessible for smaller projects

  • Documentation is developer friendly and easy to follow

Cons

  • Pricing can become expensive as usage increases

  • For enhanced speed, you often need to upgrade to a higher plan, while some other APIs include faster responses within the same plan

Decodo Google Search API

Decodo Google Search API

Decodo is a proxy provider that has recently entered the dedicated API space and now offers a Google Search API.

It can be considered a strong alternative to HasData’s SERP API because Decodo owns and manages its proxy infrastructure. For large-scale scraping tasks, having reliable proxies plays an important role in maintaining request success and avoiding blocks.

Since Decodo already operates a large proxy network, their API leverages that infrastructure to collect search results. This makes it a practical option for teams that prefer using a solution backed by an established proxy provider.

Pros

  • They own the proxy infrastructure, which generally helps maintain reliable scraping performance

Cons

  • Documentation can be a bit confusing for first-time users

  • Pricing is on the higher side compared to some other alternatives
